Fig. 2 Histological features of different types of paediatric hepatoblastoma (HB). (A) Foetal HB. Foetal cells resemble the developing foetal liver, and are arranged in irregular 2-cell thick plates. A characteristic light and dark pattern is imparted by variable cytoplasmic amounts of glycogen (haematoxylin & eosin stain (H&E); original magnification 100×). (B) Embryonal HB. Embryonal cells appear less differentiated, small, elongated and poorly cohesive, forming pseudorosettes (H&E, 200×). (C) Mixed (epithelial and mesenchymal) HB. In addition to the epithelial elements (arrowheads), primitive mesenchyme consists of spindle–shaped cells with plump elongated nuclei, in a parallel orientation (arrow) (H&E, 200×).

Fig. 3 PRETEXT (pre–treatment tumour extension) staging system ( PRETEXT reflects the number of liver sections, which are free – or involved – of tumour: PRETEXT I: three adjoining liver sections free, one section involved; PRETEXT II: two adjoining sections free, two sections involved; PRETEXT III: two non-adjoining sections free or just one section free, in the latter case three sections involved; PRETEXT IV: no free section, all four sections involved.

Fig. 4 Survival of adult hepatoblastoma patients. (A) Overall survival of adult hepatoblastoma patients (n=34). Median survival: 2months (95% CI 0.09–3.91). One-year survival: 24%. (B) Survival of hepatoblastoma patients younger than and older than 45years. One-year survival: 42±13% if age ⩽45 (n=17), 0% if age >45 (p⩽0.004, n=17). (C) Survival of surgically treated patients with adult hepatoblastoma. One-year survival: 41±12% in patients with resection (n=17), 0% in those with palliative management (p⩽0.001, n=16). (D) Survival of adult patients with reported hepatoblastoma before and after Patients treated after 1995 show a better survival curve (p=0.018, n=17 in both groups).
